Seedlings and blueberry bush

At home on the windowsill we had been planting seeds and waiting for them to germinate. The pumpkins and tomatoes grew well and needed to be repotted so that they could establish.

I was beginning to see progress on the plot and had so many ideas of things to do, but I had to make sure that seedlings were a priority so that I actually had something to plant and later on harvest!

My daughter loves berries so I really wanted to grow lots of them on the plot. Let's face it berries are so expensive in supermarkets especially if you want organic! So I was eager to save money by growing them myself. We chose a blueberry bush and planted it in a pot.

We already had a raspberry bush and had inherited black currant bushes when we took on the allotment.

#1                     

Do little and often, consistency pays off.

 
#2

Talk to your neighbours. They will be able to tell you what grows well on your particular site and give you useful advice.

 

#3

Always net over green leafy vegetables as birds love to nibble them, theres nothing more disheartening than finding your brocolli seedlings have been eaten down to stalks!
